Actually, I was upset. I went from 0 to "completely stoked" in about 1/10th of a second. Then from "completely stoked" to "utterly disappointed" just as fast.

This winter I saw two pictures of odd ice formations on Lake Superior and the Missouri River. I've been curious as to how they form, then today the Earth Science Picture of the Day site had similar formations so I got exited and read the explanation that refered several times to the three links; pancake ice, waffle ice and Pi ice.
Yeah, a big stack of pancakes with butter and syrup, Belgian waffle with the same and an apple pie. Hook, line and sinker.

I emailed the author telling him he'd taken me in completely and why. He sent back from the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA. what I wanted to know. Nice guy.

The tag line on his email - "...the appearances of nature are the truths of nature...it is through their show, not their analysis, that we enter into their deepest truths. What they say to the childlike soul is the truest thing to be gathered of them..."
